Europe Cruise Reviews

This tour covers such historic areas. The lectures on the ship helped us prepare for our tours. We had excellent guides and the overnight in Israel was really the best way to see all the historic areas of Israel. Due to traffic, our bus returned late. Upon our return, the staff at Holland America, had champagne waiting for us and told us (it was almost 9 PM that the dining room was ready to serve us dinner.

Loved the suite and the itinerary but NCL needs to make improvements on their services otherwiase.

I have been on several cruises and this has to be one of the best fun filled cruises with exceptional ports of call. I would do this one again!

Great 14 day smaller ship great crew ports of call fantastic

The exploration of Israel made the entire trip worthwhile; Jerusalem is amazing; Greece is friendly and warm; Naples and Pompeii are interesting and the Amalfi coast is beautiful.

The itinerary was great, the food and dining room service was just ok. Some nights were better than others. The kids club was nice

Best cruise ever, love the smaller ship. Very friendly and helpful crew, great ports of call. Delicious food, great entertainment.

Our trip will be a fond memory because of the entire staff of the ship. Although service was not always perfect, every crew member that we encountered never failed to make us feel welcome and pleased that we chose the Muse as our first (but not last) Silver Sea voyage.

I fortunately our ship was hit with Norovirus, the staff did contain it but there were a lot of foreigners who did not speak English and personally sanitation levels vary across different countries, so expect to be vigilant, and don’t use public restrooms, and touch anything like railings or elevator buttons

Very nice cruise; great food as usual; talented entertainment staff. Very efficient Destination services personnel.

The company has gotten to big and customer service is down . They don't seem to know what is going on all the time. It seems that you have to do things a few times for them to get it right.

After 3 days onboard a Norovirus outbreak got me very sick. I was confined to my cabin and missed tours in Athens and Mykonos. Many passengers were sick as the outbreak spread. On day 6 there was a second outbreak and many more passengers became sick. This ship has had several outbreaks in recent years. Read about it on the internet.

we just felt a little like step children being in the small majority that got on the ship in Rome. It just seemed like the Barcelona people were more important. Not sure why but we just got that feeling. No fan fair when we got on. Then we had 5000 new people get on mid sail?? Just seemed weird to us.....

Thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. Our fellow passengers were a classy group of well traveled cruisers. Over 70% had sailed with Oceania in the past. Ship holds 1,250 passengers, which allows for a great mix of folks. The food was delicious in the specialty restaurants as well as the Main Dining Room, Terrace Cafe & Waves Grill. I highly recommend Oceania!!

Viking sky is an exceptional ship. It is amazingly simple in design and is beautiful. The art is exceptional. The staff are absolutely wonderful. They are professional, friendly, and try to meet your every need.

This was our first time cruising on the Epic and while we found the ship beautiful we learned that a bigger ship is just not to our liking. The breakfast buffet was a nightmare of people and a disorganized layout of food. I wound up walking around it several times before I found everything I wanted and even returning again the next day didn't make the experience any easier. We learned that at the Irish O'Sheehans we could get seated quickly and the small menu fit our tastes for what we wanted in breakfast fare without all the mass of people. The service was fast and we could pretty much order what we wanted, prepared how we wanted...as long as the food item was on the menu I could order it. We also tried breakfast at the Taste restaurant and found it better than the throngs of people at the buffet.

A terrific time! Very busy everyday - not enough time in some of the ports but a great excuse to go back! Attentive staff, clean and easy to find your way around. Just plan to take the stairs rather than wait for the elevators before/after shows. Plenty of room for everyone but the buffet is busy before everyone leaves for excursions. Good entertainment on board - especially Cirque and the Dueling Pianos! Great dinners - and a perfectly comfortable mini suite. Looking forward to my next cruise already!

This is the third cruise for us. All of which have been on Norwegian, so even though I ding them on food, I keep going back to them. For me, the best meal was breakfast, whether at the Garden Cafe buffet or at O'Sheehans (sp?). Booking excursions at every port can be exhausting if the meeting time is 8AM or earlier as you tend to stay up late at night and then need to get up early to have breakfast and meet the tour. I was glad we made our own plans in Cannes and didn't plan an organized excursion in Mallorca. The day at sea was very relaxing. One thing we didn't know was that we began our trip at Cicitavecchia but others started from Barcellona. So when we got to Barcelona, some folks got off the boat and new cruisers got on. This isn't problematic except that there seemed to be more competition for restaurant and show reservations, which is why I said to show up even if the show is fully reserved.

we truly loved the yacht club, we would go again if it only had a yacht club....full marks for all the help there, they were first class, and I have been on manu cruises...

Very poor, last minute communication of itinerary changes. Still hope to see Berlin, Helsinki and Stockholm someday, but it won't be on this cruise line.
